More inferior products from the China. Can they not come up with something original instead of making poor knockoffs?

That's what they do. Copy everything. But I'll bet there is a big difference in the quality of it. It is not the first vehicle they copied (in the looks department).

Can't wait to see China airing macho commercials on their television to sell the truck.

108hp and 177ft lb torque?..... Looks like they are making it for their own market so buyers "feel" like they are driving the world famous F150!
Put it into the world of real trucks and I'm pretty sure whoever owns one would look for a rock to hide under! I'm pretty sure Ford has no real worries over this one!
But....... a wake up call.

We set here talking about how China has once again stolen others hard work and years of developing and call it "Imitate"
We have turn into a spineless heep for a country.
This is so wrong it makes me sick. What is the difference from them black marketing or pirating software, music and movies? Now its Ford trucks.

I bet that the Chinese imitation of the Ford F-150 isn't as good as the real thing.

China has been "imitating" designs for years. This is how countries like this learn how to build things.

Ford should have done a Super Bowl commercial about this! China didn't pick Chevy or Fiat when wanting to manufacture a pick-up, they picked FORD to copy!
